00:40 - 00:57 you can see some extra seconds that wasn't shown in the other. Where she put on make up.

Translation:

00:00 - 00:06Hello hello (etc) come in!

00:07 - 00:20A telephone call came in as usual by Christer Björkman and he said "No Elena, I promise. You aren't going to compete, I promise not to ask that. But can't you come over and do Eric Saades song as guest.

00:31 - 00:38Popular is a great pop song and Fredrik Kempe have written a fantastic song and Eric Saade is a fantastic artist.

00:40 - 00:42So it didn't go to make it as much "pop".

00:44 - 00:46Go Sweden, go!

00:47 - 01:022005 Elena Paparizou won schlager EM for Greece. She is born and grew up in Sweden. But since many years she lives in Athen, there she works a lot and preparing among other things a summer tour in the crisis Greece.

01:04 - 01:21You can't just do it like "How much did people get paid 2008, then I take less then that". No, you must reset everything and then you begin from the start. You need to make new deals with the audio company, scene.. production company. You make new deals from the beginning again.

01:22 - 01:28And everyone must reduce the payment. It is better if people have things to do, but get less paid. Then they at least get paid.

01:32 - 01:39All Greeks have taken a loan, so when they reduce the payment it gets very hard for them and the electricity is very expensive

01:40 - 01:46And it is very expensive to buy food in the ica stores, or.. in the food stores. It is very expensive.

01:47 - 01:55I was thinking about you and you closest, your brother, his family. How do you notice the economic crisis in the everyday life?

01:56 - 02:05It gets noticed, ofcourse it gets showed. Then, it is a very strange question. At first, everyone is asking me if I am going to move back to Sweden because of the crisis.

02:13 - 02:26No, they are not lazy. They work many hours. They jobs from at least nine or ten on the morning and everyone is back home at ten or eleven on the evening.

02:27 - 02:29What do you believe will happen with Greece then?

02:30 - 02:34Well, we need to bite us on our lip and do what is needed to do.

02:35 - 02:46But I would want that the state to respect that the people shouldn't lose everything.

02:47 - 02:58It is easy that people losing everything. And I am scared that the middle class will die out and there will only be very rich people and very poor people.

02:59 - 03:08And it is very important that there exist "lagom" (moderate). As I always say, perfect and so Swedish. Lagom is best.

03:09 - 03:12Can you open that on the way out there?

03:15 - 03:19Do you think about that when you are on stage nowadays, do you have this with you?

03:20 - 03:32I should really be honest now, of course I feel a lot of stress. I always say that a smart human does wrong, but doesn't do the same wrong twice.

03:33 - 03:35So I don't hope the Greeks do it again, against themself.

03:37 - 03:44But now you are here and is going on the stage tomorrow, is that a breath hole for you

03:45 - 04:02Well, my profession is something completely different. I am worried is more about Helena. My profession is that I am Helena Paparizou and I should entertain people. And I think it is extremely funny to do it.

04:03 - 04:10And I think it is very important to have fun before, too. Because then deliver.

04:11 - 04:12 Do you have it fun here then?

04:13 - 04:38I do have so much fun, I have forgot how fun it is to be here in Sweden and work here. And it feels lovely because I meet old colleagues, new people and new artists. And it get to be "Who is that". What game did he got out from. Very curious... meeting new people and well, I think is is very fun.

I am not sure about "What game did he got out from". I can't really hear what she is saying, maybe I am hearing wrong or it is something dialectical... Someone else maybe hear?

no unfortunately not...hope after melodifest release an english song there or in swedish language...i am afraid that after GATO 2010 release we will wait for next two years for helena release new greek album !!

Just don't make conclusion without having seen anything. It's pretty pointless and confusing. Helena, told November, at Mouskouri's presentation that we should wait for new songs or anything in aprox. a year. But as you saw, she released a new song (Mr Perfect), and now she is going to make things @ Sweden! Yesterday, in an article posted here (they were too many to remember which of them was it) they said that she will be on Let's Dance, so people get reminded of her, so she can release music and stuff like that in 2013...

We can make any assumptions. For example I could come here and say "I believe that Helena has recorded secretly a new album and it will be released tomorrow", but that's no help as I said before...

Well, all articles have mentioned her Swedish Comeback. And I guess that since Mr Melodifestivalen (that Bjork-man ) said so, it's highly possible that she will make the Swedish Comeback... Apart from that it's now official that she will participate on "Let's Dance" and I 'm pretty sure that she made that decision because she wants to promote her work there
